If you haven't seen this one, you should. (If you're in New York, the MoMA is playing it this Friday afternoon along with a bunch of other old environmental documentaries throughout the month. Check the calendar here.) The Man Who Skied Down Everest is the 1975 Academy Award-winning documentary about Yuichiro Miura, a Japanese alpinist who skied down Mt. Everest in 1970. Miura skied 6,600 feet in 2 minutes and 20 seconds and fell 1,320 feet down the steep Lhotse face from the Yellow Band just below the South Col. He used a large parachute to slow his descent and came to a full stop just 250 feet from the edge of the crevasse. The movie's narration comes from Miura's personal diary and the awesome soundtrack from Nexus.Eight died during the expedition's ascent.Watch: Yuichiro Miura skies down 6600 feet of Mount Everest in 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
